ABOUT

Formerly the Ripples of Hope gala, we’ve transformed our annual fundraiser into a service festival that has a direct, positive impact on Seattle’s students. This year we will also be celebrating City Year Seattle/King County’s 25th Anniversary! Our celebration will give you the opportunity not just to raise your paddle but to join our City Year AmeriCorps teams, alumni, and community members in services to the students of Seattle. Join City Year AmeriCorps members, alumni, and community members assemble 4,000 student success kits as part of our large-scale service project.

For 25 years, 1,266 young adults have served more than 2,152,000 hours supporting students and our community. Throughout the calendar year 2023, we will take you back in time to celebrate the significant impact City Year Seattle / King County has had in our community. We’ll also look forward to the important work we are striving to do in the coming years as we 1. Support students’ ongoing rebound from the pandemic and 2. Work creatively to reduce barriers to entry for national service for diverse young adults and increase the value of City Year AmeriCorps Member experience.
